I'm sure that's a catalyst for deep thoughts and debates on the inherent nature of the human being.

Correct thread this time

Everything can be art if you want it. That's my opinion, sincere.

Basically it was Enzo trying to bully some governing body or other by threatening to pull Ferrari out of Grand Prix racing (sound familiar at all?). The cars were entered under a NART (North American Racing Team) entry instead. Also noteworthy in that the colours on the Maserati mc12 are a direct tribute.

Edit: Oh bums, there was another page. Midgrid's beaten me to it. Sorry.

Also, sorry for two posts, but i feel the need to say something along the lines of

"Bloody kids, there was nothing wrong about the 1990s. Now kindly vacate my lawn."

Am I the only people to notice that first-gen Footwork FA96...

...sightly simliar to the car in a arcade game? :roll:

The most boring daub ever committed to an F1 car. I'm not saying it's particularly ugly, it is ugly in that teenage airbrush art sense, but good GOD it's unimaginative and bland.

And of course a child's painting of an F1 car...

Hey, anyone who doesn't like the footwork, come up with something better. Color, scan, and post here.

Or you can just be cheap and use photoshop like I did

(BTW I've been doing liveries for years and your VR-01 template is quite possibly the best I've ever used. Would it be possible to make a blank template of a car from 2003-2005?)

Thank you much, I'll move a car from that era up in my queue. Right now I'm doing a couple of Gulf Porsches.

Primarily because of, instead of actual sponsors, they have THIS COULD BE YOU and YOUR LOGO HERE and (my personal favourite) THIS IS A COOL PLACE.

I think it´s quite an original way to atract sponsors indeed. I love the checkered flag thingie!

Posted: **08 Feb 2011, 10:21**

Original, yes. Confidence-inspiring ... not so much. If Hispania were a financially-stable team and were doing it because they didn't really need sponsors, then it would be a delightful jab at the commercialism in the sport. But as it stands, it looks like they're just desperate for sponsors.

That said, there are a few hidden messages in fine print all over the car.

Yes, I find it rather sad really.

That image of their delivery will look great in their future team profile on this site.

Am I the only one whom this new red/white livery reminds of the former Super Aguri team? As if there was a "stock" reject livery in red and white

Posted: **08 Feb 2011, 17:17**

It kinda reminds me of the 2006 Honda somehow.

I agree! I was just looking at it again and it struck me about it's likeness to good old SA!

Common consensus on the internet is that it's a BAR Honda livery painted onto a BMW Sauber.

I guess "boring" is an odd number and "eccentric" is an even one, because when you add those two boring organizations together, you've got a whole new can of worms.

Posted: **09 Feb 2011, 02:46**

That doesn't make sense.

Posted: **09 Feb 2011, 03:25**

Even plus odd is always odd.

Posted: **09 Feb 2011, 05:20**

I know that. It's the whole thing about boring and eccentric that I don't get.

BAR were almost always consistantly boring, while the Swiss are a bunch of nutters, is I think what he meant.

For me:

...if the R29 could have run with the Anvil logo on the side as a bit of extra promotion for Anvil! The Story Of Anvil, I could have forgiven them anything... from Nelson Piquet Jr. for his Singapore misdemeanour and generally failing to live up to any of the hype he was given, to everything bad that Flav ever did, right back to drawing cartoon genitalia on his pencilcase when he was a schoolkid. But they didn't, so I won't.

F1Rejects should buy these spaces.

We are looking into it. See the HRT thread!

What about the 2000 Minardi driven by Gaston Mazzazzazzacane and Gene? That was TRULY horrific!

Posted: **11 Feb 2011, 23:54**

No. It was textbook awesome.

Posted: **12 Feb 2011, 00:13**

Yes, I liked the lime green Minardis too.

Posted: **12 Feb 2011, 11:29**

I actually thought that was my favourite Minardi livery after they'd lost their traditional black and yellow.

Posted: **12 Feb 2011, 17:57**

It's just a fantastic livery!

Posted: **12 Feb 2011, 20:56**

loved this one

Posted: **13 Feb 2011, 01:01**

Minardi's lime livery always reminded me of Stabilo Boss highlighter:

Hah, that's what the Brawn livery always made me think of!

I liked that livery as well. It was made on the corporative, classic colors of the Telefónica company. A while later, they basically reversed the colors and came up with what they use now:

The car would have probably looked better on a blue livery with lime letters, instead of the other way round.

In fact, all what they needed to do was having the whole car painted like the rear wing.

BTW, aerodinamically-wise that was one of the best cars of the season. Seriously. For some reason, they couldn't generate enough grip over a single lap in qualifying and were confined to the final row, but on race day they were less than two seconds off the pace. With a proper engine, and not a former Stewart engine from the 1998 season (which wasn't very good even in 1998), that car would have scored lots of points.

Gibernau had it on his Honda for a few years, lovely livery:
